It's getting HOT and summer far from over. I'm looking for alternatives to a conventional HVAC system. I like the ideal of electronically run ac and heating system that will not rob power from the engine. I was wanting to know if anyone swapped HVAC system from an electric vehicle?

Thanks in advance. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) used with success here in a Subaru swap @76-914 Kent please fill in the details as you lived with a similar unit for years now. @914forme Sure Stephan. BTW Steve has seen my setup. I went with the Vintage air unit because of the depth of that unit. Everything I found was 12" depth except for this one particular unit they sell that has a 10" depth. Even then it is a close fit. The closer is that you don't need to cut or drill new holes in your lower dash/knee pad. On the right side I bent one of there supplied straight hangers 90 degres. On the left, IIRC I bent another supplied hanger but more of an "L" shape. You use the OEM screws if long enough or a 6mm x 25mm x 1.25. Regardless, it fits the 914 like a glove and does not protrude past the knee pad. I can list the part # but AFAIK it is the only unit the sell with a 10" depth. A little under $500 whenI bought it. |
